WORD
COLLAGE
For this assignment you
will begin by choosing a word from the list on the back of this sheet.
Choose a word that interests you, one that you can imagine visually.
Please look up the word you have chosen on the Internet or in a real
dictionary and write or type out the definition before you start the next step.
You will be designing a
collage composition based on your chosen word.
However, your collage may not
contain words, only pictures, shapes, colors etc. Your composition should reflect the meaning of the word, the
images/feeling that it conjures in your mind.
Try to keep your collage
relatively nonrepresentational because you will be painting the collage after it
is finished. Therefore, if you use
images of faces, human bodies and other representational, detailed objects you
will be forced to draw and paint those images again in your painting.
Also, we are working small, both the collage and your final painting will
be just 8”x10” – thus, the more small details you have in your collage the
harder they will be to paint.
Sequence of Project (due
the last week of April):
I will be assessing this
assignment on the following criteria:
Composition
Concept
(does your piece relay the
feeling/meaning of the word you chose?)
Color
(did you accurately match the colors from your collage to your painting?)
